Subsection if you are told that you are going to be made redundant…
-
The European Commission has issued a Directive on Collective Redundancies, which aims to standardize the treatment of redundant workers across Europe.
-
The sale of a business from one owner to another may result in some workers being made redundant because the new owner may require fewer workers. It used to mean that since the workers’ contracts of employment with the first owner had ceased they had to enter into new contracts with the second owner. This might mean they lose some of the legal rights, which depend on the number of years they have worked (including the right to redundancy pay). However, the European Community has passed an Acquired Rights Directive, which protects workers in this situation.
-
If you are told that you are going to be made redundant you have the right to be given paid time off to look for work. However, the maximum payment is for two days and you have to have been employed for at least two years to be entitled to this.
